ya we're waiting for it

i made 2 registration for interest. But for 32GB and 64GB. Not quite sure which I want yet. If you wan can come queue with me

Hey guys, I've been following this thread for quite some time, but this is the first time I'm posting. It's great to see everyone so excited about the new iPhone 4S. I'm going to get one for me, and my family members as well. iMessage will be great for us. After trying out BB OS, Android, WP7, Symbian, MeeGo, and iOS; I've finally decided to go back to my first love - the iPhone.

However, I've been following some other forums and websites, and I've noticed a few problems with the 4S. One, is the battery life, which is s'posed to be fixed with the 5.0.1 update. Any 4S users experienced any difference with this update?

Also, the most worrying problem for me is the display. Apparently, the display on the 4S is more yellowish, and washed out compared to the 4 - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/338556...tart=0&tstart=0

Here's another - http://mashable.com/2011/10/18/yellowgate-...tint-to-screen/

And another - http://9to5mac.com/2011/10/18/iphone-4s-te...-and-lots-more/

I could go on and on, but I'd appreciate feedback from you guys who've gotten your 4S' already. I'm sure we'd all like to know if these problems are widespread or just exaggerated by the media, as usual.

Thank you

we really need feedback from the guys who are currently using i4s. any feedback regarding the "yellowgate" ?

no problem with mine.

base on v2's comment.. bros here said iOS 5.1 will resolve the battery life issue...

I believed most issues are exaggerated and blow out of proportion. Probably it hold some water on the battery life issue but they are fixing that. Other than that no real issue. If not, would ppl buy a problematic phone on it's every released ?

No problem with mine either.

1 month old i4s user here. no problem with mine.

enjoy your phone when it arrives in a week's time!

penang also got what??

V3 !!! =D
just about one week to go.. !

9 daysssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Theoretically speaking, there's no need to anticipate anything from Maxis today since they said the closing date of the ROI is on 12pm tomorrow. So we should expect the updates after 12 pm tomorrow then.

This post has been edited by Eidilfitrix: Dec 7 2011, 09:29 AM

where did they say this?
i got the sms saying plz register by 12pm on 8th.. so what happen after they close it?

So far my guessing is quite accurate...ok let's see what happens next...woot

i received the message from maxis~~

well i registered 4 times just to be sure.. on the 1st and 3rd...both 32gb white..

Waaaa..u guys really exciting lor

I will not get 1 on the launching date. Dont wanna stuck in the queue. I will buy contract free..dont bother if its used like ipod or watsoever. Even if contract free iphone i had to pay for another RM500 extra..i wont mind la. at least got some flexibility to switch to iphone5 next year.

Register your interest by 12pm 8/12/2011 meaning you need to register by that time
or before that time in order to receive updates on the iPhone 4S. Maybe they want collect data or whatever.

Yes. iPhone 5 will be LTE with Ivy Bridge Quad Core processors. Lightning speed.

I forgot to tell you guys this last night, they said Maxis Gardens closed early yesterday(chances they said to prepare for the iPhone 4S)

Nice..which means it won't be at the convention hall ...

u buy with contract also can change iphone 5.. oh btw why not now you go nearest APS buy ipod touch..can play immediately..no need wait till so long ler... and get a nokia phone..3310?? then u got all the feature same like iphone d...

This post has been edited by kangarooo: Dec 7 2011, 10:08 AM

i really dont know la...i know iphone without DATA is meaningless....but frankly speaking for me everywhere is wi-fi.......my office is wi-fi........really no need to commit in this data plan. How many guys of you here owned a ipad? Sooner when government offers free wi-fi on hotpsot like Penang, SG or Taiwan, then really need to consider whether to commit or not.

Sure you might say that but have u tried WIFI outside home/office area? Its totally crap, i tell u...

No matter what, u still need a data plan... thats the whole point of getting the iphone in the 1st place

i just give u a suggestion..not asking you must follow me..cause holding a iphone without data tak ada salah punya..just up to u..one of my friend same like ur case..he always say no need data n all over the place are with wifi now..end up....he go and sign up data .haha...he i using prepaid so can sign up from phone...

Finally maxis iPhone 4S ROI page has added some thing new there.

Baloi tak kalau beli contract free iPhone 4S,tapi pakai prepaid?

guys..
u can afford to buy this iphone which is cost thousand.
then y u guys keep arguing weither to sign up for data plan or not.
just add up some amount for data plan to ur monthly bill is not a big deal.
malay people said "kalau ada duit ribu2 beli iphone, xkan xda duit mau subscribe data plan. malu lah".
its better to use smartphone with data plan.
if not just use nokia 3310 la.
take this positively guys.
im not to offence anyone here.
peace!

Added on December 7, 2011, 10:41 amjust buy an ipod touch bro if u think like that.


This post has been edited by aiinadz: Dec 7 2011, 10:41 AM

I'll sign up with the RM250/month plan with data. Sure my iPhone 4S will be lot cheaper.

What is it? Is it the phone will be available on 16th december?

LOL.......... ya..who know I might be one of your friends. But i am a auditor so I am very calculative, there's no need for me to commit such monthly expenses just for the iphone. I mean, 1 days 24 hrs, apart from not in the sleep mode for 16hrs, how many hrs will I gonna hold this phone and play around? It will only last for 1 month or 2 months thereafter the usage of the phone will be more or less like my current dinosour phone except for extra features from iphone. ...so i try to stick with it..no DATA PLAN


ericpires: you mean outside area like McD or Starbucks? So far so good for me wor...i dont know la..i used to bring my ipad to these areas but no problem, except for my home one in which my bro subsscribed P1 Wimax which is totall real craps.

[/quote]

but iPhone got better camera quality,and it doesnt make me hold 2 things when going anywhere

ok who's going for the midnight launch? at least if there are a few of us, we can take care of the queue and going to the toilet and food wouldn't be an issue. I might queue up early for the midnight launch, maybe from noon onwards.

But iPhone 4S got better camera quality,and i don't want to use two devices(a phone and an ipod) at once

ipod mostly for music rite? i am not into music ler...plus dont wanna hold 2 things in my pocket...but reading all those excitement from you guys really can feel the "excitement atmosphere".... ......wow ip4s already like this...iphone5 how!??? thread will expand to v.5 for ip5?

btw.. whts the advantages of ROI??

Simply, you'll be given the priority to pre-order iPhone 4S just like the concept last year during iPhone 4 launch. Without registration everybody will go and queue for it. In a way there's no system to it. Confirm havoc wan. So by registering won't cost you anything. Just interest only. At least Maxis can track how the response is ma. After they close the ROI tomorrow then the rates and plan will be revealed.. WOOHO la..

I'll be going after 3pm.

Yes, can be purchased on 16th dec onwards , and add on IC and company name.

MW claims that maxis ROI page will be closing down soon

QUOTE(zephyryj @ Dec 7 2011, 10:48 AM)

Nothing. It is just to let people that interested with ip4s know about the respective telco plan price and at the same time, calm down the excitement of the crowd. And perhaps it is also one of the survey method that employed by the telcos.

Don't be stupid and buy from Maxis, their data plan will kill you... haha no joke

I'll start to queue up from 3am and wait for the morning 10.30am session. Still no info and clue yet to what time and time

yes babe~~

Added on December 7, 2011, 11:08 amYES Thanks to all agree with Ipod Touch and Nokia 3310...

This post has been edited by kangarooo: Dec 7 2011, 11:08 AM

HAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHA...means u are not signing for Maxis?

Apple recruiting engineers to develop and improve Siri to a better use. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/12..._languages.html

Yeah, buy from DiGi and warranty claim wait 6 months for replacement.

Priority to Pre-order?
i am planning to get it between the 1st week of launch.. not gonna line up on 1st day..
Hope they have stock !

Wish you all the best:)

hope that they will do sort of like
asking us where to buy and we go there and buy can already
hahahahaha

if just pure registration then no shiok
i want straight away treat it as pre order

After maxis close the registration of interest then we'll know soon enough.

ive know this yesterday from twitter......yeah,maybe Apple add BM as SIRI language :/

Do I need to register the interest again because last time the field IC and company name aren't there.

ME2. I am trying to minimise my plan usage. I can access to the internet from home and work. Hardly use the data tho. But for the iphone which bundles with the data plan, i would not want to subscribe it.

glad got member....

oh ROI will be closed?

---

Added on December 7, 2011, 11:39 amyeah. i figured that getting a fone should nt "burden" our expenses. We have no choice as we wan iphone4s quickly hence, are forced to sign up the package. what we can do is minimise our "losses" lol

This post has been edited by andyfriends: Dec 7 2011, 11:39 AM

Yes. Tomorrow 12pm. It's all depends on individual usage. One cannot say sign up data plan is no good.

Tomorrow 12 pm will get to know the pricing??

yaa better digi hahahah more cheaper



My advice if u don't want to use data plan then just use Nokia only,Very sob2 u know just like my cousin buying iphone 4 but no data plan such a waste, after all if u cannot afford the data plan meaning u like this BIar papa Janji Bergaya hahahah

This post has been edited by sha2rill: Dec 7 2011, 12:00 PM

agree with u bro. haha..

Probably after 12pm tomorrow. Around 2pm? The latest would be this monday/tuesday.

i am planning to get the phone without data plan with maxis...they still have the offer like the ip4?where i can get 500MB free each month if i buy the phone only?

That's highly unlikely. There are rumors that Apple is testing a quad-core iPhone, and that's not surprising. They probably test a dozen phones or more every year. It's basic R&D. However, it won't be the Ivy Bridge as that's Intel's processors designed for notebooks, and desktops. Apple and most other phone manufacturers are using the ARM architecture. The next quad-core mobile processors will be based on the ARM A-15 Eagle architecture. ARM processors are preferred as it's powerful but also much more power efficient compare to Intel chips. Intel chips are mostly designed for computers, not tablets and definitely not mobile phones.

Anybody got their email from maxis yet?

Guys, its urgent here. Im using ip4s also, but using prepaid..not postpaid. I'm thinking of signing up the celcom brodband mbasic rm58/month. So, it this means the rm58 only for internet only rite? But i reload my fon as for messeging n calling purpose as usual rite?tq...ASAP..

Like others had said, getting a data plan is a matter of preference (and wallet too ).

OTOH I just can't imagine that I can only use data only at home, at work and around places with wifi. That sound very limited to me. Should I need to get some sort of information, I must wait when I have arrived at home or office? Or I need to rush going to the nearest free wifi area? That's suck. So what if I need to check or to VIEW the latest traffic condition in my car? Have to wait for update from the radio? That's soo old school! How about playing multiplayer in GameCenter? Strictly at the designated places. Those without data plan doesn't know what they have missed. But still, your money your talk. I'm simply giving my honest 2 cents

Using Siri Dictation very dangerous.
I said : "The jam started at the first tol"
Siri dictated : "Damn it in my butt hole"

its not that we CAN'T afford to pay the plan. Its a matter of is it worth? just because of the phone u had to incurred additional monthly phone bill for 24 months..is that worth? normal prepaid 1 month 30, u pay more than double or triple the monthly fixed cost..not worth long term.

guys, how many units can we buy?
no limit is it?

maybe..cause Singaporean iPhone 4S limit 2 per person...they do that because of limited supply

Added on December 7, 2011, 12:45 pmGuys,i check at DiGi for 3G internet plan.....15 ringgit per week...worth it or not?

This post has been edited by amir7298: Dec 7 2011, 12:45 PM

as i kno mbasic is rm38/mth only..

i think u need a postpaid plan in order for u to sign up celcom mobile internet.. got tis from faq.. hope it helps..


6 How do I subscribe to Celcom Mobile Internet service?

Walk in to your nearest Celcom Branch or Dealers to subscribe to this service. You must be a Celcom Postpaid Voice plan subscriber in order to subscribe.

Like mentioned earlier, individual preference and usage. That additional charges include data plan. Unlike prepaid which will sipped every single cent in no time if cellular data is activated. That could means more than RM30 in continuous run. If a person of not data hungry, of course this not going to be an issue, he can always rely on wifi. But some of us needs constant update at the right time (I'm not talking about social networking but it could be one of it though ) like latest traffic, weather, news, paying bills, flight update, googling etc. And we are not going to wait to know it only at certain places

---

Added on December 7, 2011, 12:57 pmYup. works only with postpaid. For prepaid, you can use the daily/weekly unlimited plan, which is troublesome as you need to constantly renewing the plan when it's near to the expiry time. Not to mention SUPER SLOWW

This post has been edited by mmmbop: Dec 7 2011, 12:57 PM

Bro, i would recommend "U Mobile" prepaid (monthly RM28 for the unlimited mobile internet plan - inclusive of a certain amount of talk time, free sms's and also 500MB of data)..if exceed the quota.. the speed will be throttled to 64Kbps.. still good enough for whats app.. i myself using this on my ip4S SG Set.. cancelled my ivalue1 plan from the evil cluthes of maxis after selling off my ip4 and ported to U Mobile.. hope that u r staying in a U Mobile 3G coverage area.
